Application of Tour Into the Picture Using Relative Depth Calculation

Tour into the picture (TIP) technique is an approach that can makes animation from one 2D image of a scene. Based on the previous research experience, the authors proposed a new approach—the TIP using relative depth calculation (RDC). Based on the geometry projection of the input image, this approach can calculate the depth information of the foreground and background models, and switch smoothly between the reference image and TIP model. Moreover, through modifying the spider mesh, the TIP technique can be applied to a scene with slopes. In addition, the RDC method has been applied to multiple scenes, and made animation on these scenes.
